Asian Health Disparities
Asian health disparities refer to those genetic, biological, social, and behavioral determinants of health specific to Asian and Pacific Islander health, including American Asians, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders, which represent preventable differences in sickness and disease as well as opportunities to enhance health and well-being for these populations. For example, hepatitis B is more common among some Asian subpopulations in comparison to others, which represents an opportunity to enhance health.
